Hi everyone,
I've got a Sargent EC480 digital control panel mated to a EC500 PCS, with an 80W solar panel on the roof.
I noticed today that when the Leisure battery is selected as the 'Active' battery, a little 'V' appears in the 'sun' symbol as if to say the Vehicle battery is being charged by the solar panel.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Currently on EHU at the moment, as indicated by the little spark symbol top left.
If I press the battery swap switch so the Vehicle battery is active, then a 'L' appears in the sun symbol, as if to say the solar is now charging the leisure battery.
Is this usual? That the solar charges the opposite battery to the active one while on EHU?
Also while I'm here, at 4pm mid winter with a very low sun in the sky, is 0.6A about all I can expect from an 80W panel?
